The Grand 350 Aston Martin luxury phone

By

Luxury phone designer Mobiado out of Vancouver has collaborated with Aston Martin on a stunningly upscale mobile phone/car device called The Grand 350 Aston Martin.

This high-end phone is comprised of CNC-machied aluminum which comprises the bulk of the case, a 2.36-inch 271-carat sapphire cystal screen with 16 million colors, stainless steel keys, quad-band antenna (you know–for all your international jet-setting) Bluetooth, micro USB connector, GPS and more.

Needless to say the device is going to be expensive, you probably won’t be carelessly letting these babies drop out of your briefcase like our handsome friend in the photos is doing, but if you are planning on pairing this with your latest Aston Martin it probably doesn’t matter.

It's not all that surprising -- EVs are still expensive, early adopters all have one by now, and they're still new enough to where there aren't too many ultra-affordable used EVs available. But plenty of people still want a greener vehicle, and that has given rise to an explosion in hybrid vehicle sales.

That's especially true of plug-in hybrid vehicles, which can be charged like an EV and driven in all-electric mode for short distances, and have a gas engine as a backup for longer distances or to be used in combination with electric mode for more efficient driving.
